A friend of mine just had it and it was covered by his insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield).
I believe that a lot of the cost factors will depend on your coverage plan and how the Doctors want to work things. Honestly I have no idea what it would cost out of pocket though since I compete Natural. Your best bet would probably be to go to an AAS board or place where there will be more guys who are familiar with the procedure.Pro Strongman & Former National Champion

The Cost of Gynecomastia Surgery depends on the problem to be treated, can vary from surgeon to surgeon and around the world. I work with up to 8 gynecomastia patients a day and see so many different types, that one price to fit all would not be fair.
Recovery After Gynecomastia Surgery depends on the problem to be treated, surgical techniques, skill of the surgery, after surgery care, and many other factors. My patients are back to a computer the day of surgery. Lifting the arms up over the head can take some time. This is real surgery. I explain for my patients that it is like having a sprain. A dynamic return to activities helps protect healing tissues. In bodybuilding no pain, no gain. After surgery, ignore the pain and you can hurt the healing. Here is more about Healing After Gynecomastia Surgery.
Hope this helps,

So I was not the only one having a hard time searching here!
I love the way bodybuilding.com has evolved over the years. The latest version of the search was initially frustrating until I learned this trick. Go to the Advanced Search:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/search.php
You can get there by holding the search label down and picking that option. In there I change the Sort Results to "Last Posting Date." I find that the default setting yields bizarre results that have little value to me. My guess is that the mods have the weight factors for the "relevant" set up in an unusual fashion. If you know any forum administrators or mods, when working, the default settings should bring up more relevant results.
I prefer to post in current topics when possible. This search method permits me to find recent topics for which I have a passion in helping.

I have gyno (non-pubertal) and the doctors won't do anything to it. As long as it doesn't look cancerous you better have a good doctor or be great at faking pain or you won't get surgery for it. I'm in pain every cold day from it, anytime anything rubs against or touches my lower pecs its serious pain. But as far as getting my insurance (Federal Blue Cross Blue Shield by the way) to pay for it, fugghetaboutit

not yet but looking at a mirror and comments from one of girlfriend made to consider this option.
But at the same am thinking problem could due to imbalance between estrogen and testosterone level, are you familiar with abcdefgh's of anobolic steroid side effects and therapy?"Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength."
"Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him, and then choose that way with all his strength."

You are welcome.
Not all doctors have the same skills. I posted in another forum "How to Pick a Gynecomastia Surgeon"
http://www.gynecomastia.org/smf/index.php?topic=16474.0
Be careful, it is easier to contour the chest during primary surgery. I see disasters from around the world: patients unhappy with what local doctors did. Some of these problems do not have reasonable contour options to revise the mess. Check out one class of these:
